The xylophone instrument is a kind of percussion which is made of wood or metal plates arranged in order of their heights. It is played with small sticks-something like a hammer-(malt). Each plate is set to a specific note, you can make different melodies and rhythms by hitting the small hammer to different plates.
Music in Bremen
The city of Bremen also has a very rich musical history.

Eventually, they decide to run away and become musicians in Bremen. This story shows that the city of Bremen played an important role in German music.
